ARTIFISHAL is a Patagonia film about man’s disastrous approach to Nature, including river dams & open-water fish-farms, that are leading to the weakening and extinction of species. By focusing on the missteps of our past, the film offers some hope IF we heed the warnings, and embrace the power of Nature to heal. As Yvon Chouinard says at the end, “It’s more than just our relationship with fish, it’s how we’re trying to control Nature rather than work with Nature.” The film’s closing scene = “Text PROTECT to 40649 to stop hatcheries, remove dams, restore rivers and change how we harvest fish.” I believe that Sustainable Fish Farms are one of the important steps needed to protect our wild fish!
